Cop Magnet just posted three new jams on his space. They are currently helping me shake off my post-work coma and giving my headphones a workout.

Be warned, “Under Run” is a serious banger and the money shot on “NPR(o)” puts ‘crescendoing’ into a whole new context.

Video: Coma Cinema - Flower Pills

There really must be something in the water down Columbia way.

This video is from Carolina’s own Coma Cinema. I found it while perusing around Toro Y Moi’s blogspot, and I’m quite pleased I did.

The song is somber and morose as all hell, but it doesn’t really give off “depressing” vibes to me. You are welcome make sense out of that for yourself.

You can download his demo compilation Baby Prayers (which is awesome) for free over at his website.

Cold Mountain Child are giving away their wonderful record Stillness Singing as a free download on last.fm. It was one of my favorites last year, a collection of hauntingly beautiful songs perfect for seeing-your-own-breath sort of weather.

I highly recommend grabbing a physical copy still, it’s a CD with a hand sewn 16-page booklet filled with lyrics and various photos. It’s a package worth holding on to.

mp3: Tan Dollar - LC’s Choice

After posting Tan Dollar’s amazing self-titled track on the WGWB compilation, the Cali-based trio shot me over another track from their impressive Your Body As A Temple CD on LIFE’S BLOOD.

Washed out vocals and a flurry of percussion carry this number to really wonderful heights. Give it a listen, listen to the self-titled track on the comp, and then keep riding the breezy groove and buy the disc if you feel up for it.

Video: Growing - Hormone

Vignette made for “Hormone” off of Growing’s upcoming LP PUMPS.

You can preorder it over at VICE, it’s due out April 6th. Count the days, count the days.

mp3: Spirit Spine - Flashes

I first posted Bloomington one-man-band Spirit Spine’s “Slept Away” off his newest album Jungle Bridges a few weeks ago. Now, this second single is making its way around the web. It’s heavy on the Person Pitch again, and again I’m perfectly okay with it.

The best news here really is that you can finally purchase the entire album, digitally for now, from online marketplaces like amazon, emusic, and itunes.

Joesph also put the entire album up for free streaming, because he’s that nice of a guy. You can preview the whole album here.

And of course, if you haven’t yet, you can still download his EP Surfhunter for free here.

mp3: Twin Sister - Ribbon Bow

This is a pretty chill mash-up/sound-collage from NY’s Twin Sister. Anyone who samples “Your One And Only” by Otis Redding is a-ok in my books. Just throwing that out there.

Now, Twin Sister are not usually a “mash-up” band. As for their more traditional offerings, they have a rather amazing EP, Vampires With Dreaming Kids, you can download for, like, free.

They also have a new EP, titled Color Your Life, due out in March on Infinite Best Recordings. Here’s the trailer:

Pretty rad, no?

Wish more bands released trailers.

Here is a collection of new jams from a handful of bands I have been digging lately and writing about. The tracks are mostly new and, for the most part, very local.

I envision myself putting one of these together periodically from now on, so consider this the first installment. Track listing below, enjoy.

1. DOM - Jesus
Pure summery pop bliss from Worcester Locals. Be sure to check out “Rude as Jude” on their myspace as well.

2. Lil Daggers - Ya Tube Sabe
Another track from my friends from Miami. Song makes me want to run from the cops in the worst way.

3. Quiet Loudly - Over The Balcony
Nifty number from my bearded buddies from Brooklyn.

4. Tan Dollar - Tan Dollar
I could listen to this on repeat all. day. long.

5. GOBBLE GOBBLE - End Of Days
Another new track from pals GOBBLE GOBBLE, this one pumps up the techno.

6. Truman Peyote - Kartwheels
Rad jam from Truman Peyote’s upcoming split with Many Mansions on Whitehaus.

7. Many Mansions - Sparkly Portal
Lighter-than-air track off of said split. Put your headphones on and take flight.

8. Tropical Depression - Miniature Mountains
Found this track thanks to FMLY. Airy grooves from the west coast.

9. Philip Seymour Hoffman - Everything In My Cupboards Is Moldy
Like the actor, only way better. 80% more R.L. Stein also.

10. PPALMM - Acid Cops
Killer track from PPALMM off Breakfast of Champs’ Mozart Family All-Stars comp.

11. Girlfriends - I Was Here But I Disappear
New track from Girlfriends’ amazing self-titled debut cassette on Floating Garbage Continent. For the record I called it “gritty” way before the Herald ever did.

12. Golden Girls - Amateur Teen Sex Attics
More wonderful noise coming from wormtown. Makes me miss the Common Fashion Outlets.

13. The Great Valley - Lucky Me!
New track from friends The Great Valley off of their 7” Holiday, Holinight on Spooky Town. Whoops, this ones coming out early summer via BOC. Still love Spooky Town though.

14. Boy Without God - City Kids
Boston songwriter, beautiful track.

15. Quilt - False Eto
This track sounds like it’s emerging from a cloud of smoke in another world to me.

16. Psychedelic Family - Black Horse Knight Rider (Live)
Epic. Put on repeat for days.

mp3: DOM - Jesus [GOBBLE GOBBLE’s Straight Edge Glowsticks Remix]

GOBBLE GOBBLE sent me over this remix of DOM’s (Wormtown’s finest) delightful track “Jesus” today.

It’s a trip, Dude.

Also swing over to DOM’s Myspace and give a listen to another new jam titled “Rude As Jude.” It’s a fitting backdrop to this sunny chilled day.

mp3: Many Mansions - Sparkly Portal

This lighter than air track from Many Mansions is the perfect counterpart for Truman Peyote’s swirling synth-soup. You can Pre-Order your copy of Peaced Together, a 12” split from Truman Peyote and Many Mansions from pals The Whitehaus Family Record for 12$. This beauty ships mid-march and it’s a match made in heaven. Get after it!
